A malicious npm package has been discovered that masquerades as a vulnerability detector for Ethereum smart contracts. Instead of performing its advertised function, the package installs Quasar RAT, a remote access trojan that grants attackers full control over the infected systems. This trojan allows for persistence through modifications to the Windows Registry and establishes Command-and-Control connections. The threat was highlighted by cybersecurity experts, including reports from The Hacker News and Socket Security, emphasizing the risks posed to developers using such compromised tools.
